Pray & Donate twds Hurricane Katrina Devastation: Pastor Rick Joyner Word

I am sorry to all. I just got back into the country and I did not realize the devastation of this hurricane katrina. To all friends and family, please, please pray for those in Louisianna and Mississippi who are without homes, sick, starving, without water and lost. Please pray for God's great grace and mercy to be with our fellow Americans. Those of you from around the world please join us here in prayer. It is horrific, but in the midst of darkness, it is when God's light can shine the brightest. May the Church rise up in this hour and shine the light of Jesus at this dark hour and bring glory to God by loving those who need it most right now.

I don't know what I can do. I'm praying and I'm also going to donate through a trustworthy ministry that is sending Christian volunteers on the ground to help with the catostrophe. Pastor Rick Joyner of Morning Star Ministries in North Carolina wrote the below response and prophetic word in response to hurricane Katrina. At the bottom of the letter is a link and address where you can donate funds. Many of our partner ministries are working wtih Rick Joyner and his staff and sending down teams. Let us pray,
and let us obey as the Holy Spirit leads us to do our part to bring grace and relief to those who need it most right now.

Lord haver mercy on New Orleans and the countless others,

Jaeson Ma

Special Bulletin #7 - 2005:
Hurricane Katrinaby Rick Joyner
September 2, 2005


It is understandable that almost everyone in the U.S. is now very focused on the tragedy caused by Hurricane Katrina. It is a tragedy that will touch us all in many ways and will continue to unfold over the weeks and months ahead. Even so, the end result is that we are going to be much better and much stronger as a nation. The Gulf Coast region will also emerge better than ever, and stronger.

Even so, we were not prepared for this as a nation, and we do need to learn the lessons that this situation is going to teach us. As this plays out it will prove to have been even more deadly and devastating than almost anyone imagined, even though it is already perceived to be the worst natural disaster in our history. Even so, it could have been worse, and the end result will be to help us.

I have been asked often if anyone in our ministry or our prophetic friends foresaw Hurricane Katrina. The answer is "yes," as early as 1998. These prophecies included "New Orleans looking like an estuary," and great damage coming to Mobile and all parts in-between. As hard as this could be to imagine now, the end result of this storm will be to make even many of the Gulf Coast victims thankful for it in the end.

Over the next few years a great move of God will spread over that region, and many who have lost all of their possessions will gain something far better—eternal life. This storm is a sign of a great cleansing and very powerful move of God coming to that region which will affect the whole nation for good. We will also see it affecting us in more difficult ways for a time—especially economically. However, the region will be rebuilt and better than before, but much more than physically, it will be rebuilt spiritually. There is a great move of God to rebuild our nation spiritually as well.

Though there are many crucial lessons to be learned from this entire situation, it is not the time to get into them in any more depth. Now it is still a rescue situation, and we need to pray that this now be accomplished with Godspeed or many, many more could be lost.

One reason the situation has not been handled better is the spirit of confusion that has been released over that region. We know that we do not war against flesh and blood (see Ephesians 6:12), though we cannot expect the government and law enforcement agencies to understand this. There is a lot of witchcraft coming from New Orleans and it wants to cause as much death as possible. We need to pray for this spirit of confusion to be bound, and for great clarity and energy to be given to those who are managing and implementing the lifesaving efforts. Then we need to pray for great clarity and energy to rebuild that city and region. This is important for the whole nation.

The church needs to gear up to help in many ways. Churches are called sanctuaries, and we need to be that right now for these multitudes who have virtually lost everything they had. If every church just took one family, we could take care of all of the people. There are churches all over America with large Sunday School facilities that only get used one half a day a week. These can be quickly converted to shelters for families.

We are also at this time examining every way that we can use the facilities that we have at Heritage International Ministries to help those in need. We need to all be asking right now what we have that could help. Many things that we no longer use and will never use again, such as old clothes, tools, vehicles, or other resources can make a big difference in the lives of those who are our neighbors and are now in desperate need.

If you want to help, but do not know what to do, please consider joining us. We will be sending teams to the region to assist in the cleanup and rebuilding. Check this website for more information.

You may also make donations to MorningStar for the Katrina relief. One hundred percent of the donations designated for Hurricane Katrina relief will go to that effort. MorningStar does not keep a single cent for administration or our own costs. You can also donate materials such as trucks, buses, tools such as chain saws, power saws, building materials, and other items that can be used to help in this effort.

To make a credit card donation, donate online or call 1-800-542-0278 and say you want to make a donation for the Katrina Relief. You may also mail your donation (please mark them for Katrina Relief) to:

MorningStar Fellowship Church
9700 Regent Parkway
Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715

There is no question now that this will prove to be the worst natural disaster in our nation's history. We need to be in special prayer for all who are leading this relief effort and for the people who are affected that this will all be used for good, and for us to learn all of the lessons that we can from this situation so that we are far more prepared the next time.

Prophet Chuck Pierce Word

Dear Steve: This is how I am proceeding in prayer. This is a major call to "stand and war." We must take a clear stand in the spirit for what is going on in this coastal tragedy. As a warning that times are changing rapidly, and we must have an immediate shift in the spirit. Only by us crying out for a Holy Spirit revival in our nation can we see evil restrained. Blessings, Chuck Pierce

Dear Friends:

We must pray and intercede on behalf of those traumatized along the Gulf Coast areas. We are entering into a level of warfare in the earth that is beyond our present mindset and paradigm.

In these seven years of war, God has been preparing us for what is ahead. We are ending the fourth year and approaching the fifth year.

We need supernatural grace to deal with lawless structures in days ahead. I want to be real honest, when I wrote "The Future War of the Church" explaining the anti-Christ system and lawlessness, many criticized and scoffed at the concept of the level of warfare that we would be encountering in days ahead.

Please, please prepare yourself for these next three years. Use the prayer points below to begin to engage spiritual forces in ways that we have never understood in the past. The following prophetic word is from the revelation that came forth on August 12 in our FirstFruits Gathering built around covenant alignment.


WORD OF THE LORD THAT CAME FORTH ON AUGUST 12, 2005

To the United States of America ... "Know that today this nation is being realigned. Get ready, for refuge cities will begin to arise throughout this land. They will begin to rise up from state to state to state all along the East coast, all along the Gulf, and all along the West coast.

"I am raising up refuge cities. Florida is resisting the development of My plan, but I will cause a strong remnant to arise in this state. I AM even beginning to train those in cities that will know how to move forward. Many of you have wondered: ‘Why am I not involved here or there - why do I seem to be shelved?' I will begin to assign you to be a part of those groups that will aid My next move in the earth.

"This will come because of great shakings, floods and disease structures that are forming. I AM assigning you now to spread My Good News. I AM developing ears to hear My grace. There is a shifting now of compassion and mercy, for I need My healers to be ready to be released throughout the land.

"...To those in law enforcement and public authority, lawlessness is beginning to rise and escalate. Many of you who have prayed will become discouraged as you see statistics change. Lift up your heads. This is the beginning of dividing and exposing the real source of covenant breaking and violence that is seething in this land. I will give you strategies over how to defeat major lawless structures. These strategies are but temporary measures, so remain on alert from this day forward."


Ask God to teach you about lawlessness.
Ask the Lord to build a shield of faith around you.
Ask the Lord to have you be more responsive to prophecy. (The word to Baton Rouge in 2003 was "you will become a refuge city" [referenced in "Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation"]. In 2004, the word given in Baton Rouge was on purification coming to New Orleans. You can read this word here: http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=2459)
Don't lean on your own understanding. We are entering into a supernatural dimension.
Bind the accuser who is working in the earth realm to bring division in the midst of crisis.
Begin to set a blood line barrier at the 150 mile radius around the victimized area. How do you do that? You get up and decree by the Spirit of God that there is a supernatural shield set so that the enemy's plan cannot invade that barrier. Cry out for angelic forces to visit individuals that are crying out in these areas. Ask for angels to HELP in this structure of lawlessness that is operating in this part of the earth.
Pray for those that are serving as refuge cities – Houston, Baton Rouge, and others.
In the midst of trauma, always let God show you areas in our lives that can be purified. Bind condemnation and ask God to purify us where we have been weak in the past. In intercession, what you identify ... purify. Ask God to purify areas where we have allowed the enemy to take control.
Pray for supernatural, unexplained healings to start occurring in individuals.
Ask for the Holy Spirit to invade this situation.
Yes, this situation could be a result of the Gaza Strip crisis in Israel. Yes, this situation could be a result of the spiritistic decadence that goes on in New Orleans. Yes, this situation could be a result because of the slave entry through New Orleans. Yes, this situation could be a result of the gambling along the coast line. Yes, this could be because of the Circuit Court System in New Orleans taking its stand on behalf of abortion in the land. However, the issue right now is to let the Spirit of God rise up within you and for you begin to cry out in the midst of this situation in a way that you have never cried out before.

Job 22:30 says, "He will even deliver the one [for whom you intercede] who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands." (AMP)



Once you have lived through severe trauma, you realize that pointing a finger is not necessary !!!


You actually realize that it is just the grace of God that any of us are not in these situations. Pray that the "spirit of man withstand this major wound and infirmity in this nation" (Prov 18:14).


THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONLY RESTRAINER OF EVIL IN THE EARTH REALM


Here is another portion of the prophetic word that came forward in our August FirstFruits Gathering on covenant.

To the CHURCH ... "I will reverse cessation thinking. Many have held onto a dead religion. Let go of old religious patters and embrace My resurrection and power. The wind of My power will begin to blow and it will not be able to be explained. There will be a desire for My Spirit. Those that do not repent of a religion that denies My Spirit in the earth will not embrace My covenant plan or people in the future. I have chosen Israel as the deciding factor in the earth. Those who do not acknowledge Israel's place in the earth will not understand the place that I have prepared for them in days ahead."


If there is one thing that we need to ask the Lord to forgive us for – it is the quenching and grieving of Holy Spirit in the earth.

We will attempt to make available a download of the chapter on LAWLESSNESS from The Future War of the Church. You can go to our website at www.glory-of-zion.org You can go to www.elijahlist.com to get "Prayers that Outwit the Enemy" and "The Future War of the Church".



Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
